What about placing your update code into a separate template called
maybe updVisits.cfm and then on your page that you have your links, place a
section
of JavaScript such as:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
function updVisits(){
<CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="updVisitorCount.cfm">
}
</SCRIPT>
Then in your HREF link set an onClick event to do the update at that point.
Just a suggestion. Probably something easier out there somewhere.

Subject: How do I increment counter field by clicking on link?
Help Please -
I have a database table with company information, and a field called
"Visits" -
The below link appears in the left hand frame panel. When clicked, the
visitor sees the company's web site in the right hand frame (bottomright).
<A href="http://#WebAddress#"; TARGET="bottomright">#CompanyName#</a>
I want to increment the "Visits" field by one count every time the link is
clicked. I have tried many approaches, but am unable to resolve this - can
someone please help me??
Thanks very much!
Tom
